Andersen Prunty writes bizarro fiction, surreal horror and darkly comic novels in which ordinary frustration expands into dream logic and grotesque social satire. Zerostrata follows a man returning to a place from his childhood that may be stranger than his memories, while Satanic Summer turns family and suburban unease into an increasingly bizarre horror story. Other books move through obsessive relationships, strange institutions and characters unable to trust the rules of their surroundings. Prunty's prose is direct even when events become surreal. The most relevant shelves are bizarro fiction, absurdist horror and authors such as Carlton Mellick III. Read more Less
